Pregnancy

Share this article: 

From the very early signs of pregnancy to the joy of being a new mum, having a baby is an incredible experience that most mums describe as a rollercoaster of emotional and physical change. With all that’s going on it’s natural to have lots of questions about all sorts of things, from your due date to the labour - and everything in between!

The miracle of what’s going on inside you is a true wonder of nature. From a single cell to a complete human of 200 million cells in just 40 weeks – it’s an awe-inspiring thought.

Your baby is slowly being created by nutrients taken from your diet – so knowing what’s best to eat will help make sure he gets what he needs, even if eating a large meal is the last thing on your mind! That’s why we believe that Feeding for Life begins in the womb, right at the start of pregnancy.

Breastfeeding is best for your baby and provides many benefits. Good maternal nutrition is important for the preparation and maintenance of breastfeeding.

Introducing partial bottle-feeding could negatively affect breastfeeding and a decision not to breastfeed is difficult to reverse. Infant Milk Formula should only be used on the advice of a health professional and the manufacturer's instructions for use should be followed carefully. Improper use of an infant milk or innappropriate foods or feeding methods may present a health hazard. The social and financial implications of using infant milks should be taken into consideration. If you choose to bottlefeed, do not allow prolonged or frequent contact of milk feeds with your baby's teeth since this increases the risk of tooth decay. Make sure your baby's teeth are cleaned after the last feed at night.
